Connection question. Will this speaker take up 2 speakers inputs on receiver? I have a left/right front speakers input.

it's called bi-ampable and yes it does have it.don't have to use it leave the metal bridge on or remove.

No, these speakers have two different sets of terminals. One for the tweeter, one for the mid-range cones. This setup normally allows hifi systems that separate these frequencies into separate outputs to be connected independently of each other on the speaker.The speakers come with a jumper pre-installed that bridges the two sets of inputs. Only one pair (+/-) of speaker wire is required to connect these speakers.

No. This speaker only have one input for either left or right. You will need to buy 2 ($174.98 X 2) in order to have left and right front speakers. The sound is really good, and I recommend an amplifier with 100W per channel to really get them going.

Only one speaker is a receiver. You have both connected together in order for both to play. If you separate them, only one will play. The speakers come with a short connecting cord (maybe 24"). I would think you could get longer male to make connecting cords and expand the distance between speakers.For the price and size, these are pretty nice little speakers.I hope this helps.Larry B.

I don't know the answer for that. You need to check on your receiver or pre-amp's manual, but if you want to use only one sub-woofer than you don't need this kind of cable, what you need is a straight forward cable. I don't think your receiver is designed for doing that. I have two sub outs on my receiver for the purpose to use two separate sub-woofer so you can put one on each side of the room or one in the front one in the back at your surround speakers. I don't recommend you to do that, you should never mix signals. This cable is designed for if you have a sub and does not have a LFE input but has inputs for left and right than you connect the double Y part to the sub and the single end to your pre-out. Also you can contact with Mediabridge they have excellent technical support. Good luck and don't do it!!!

You can connect the wires to the left and right front speakers or maybe to one speaker if you only have posts for one wire. I am not expert but when my RCA connector did not work I hooked up to the two front speakers. Apparently the woofer picks up only the low frequency sound going to the other speakers.

I believe with this receiver, the sub gets connected with a coaxial cable. Even though there are two coax outputs for sub, my sub only has one input so I use the right output. I don't believe there is a way to use positive and negative connection wires (speaker wire) to the sub unless you get some kind of low-high level converter converting the wires from the sub to the required input on the amp

If your receiver can handle 7.1 its just a simple matter of adding two additional speakers. I would recommend adding to floor speakers to your front channels and using the DefTech speakers as your center, side, and rear surrounds.I hope this helps.-Dex

The receiver will work with just the two speakers, but does not sound as good without the subwoofer I turned off my subwoofer and put it on 2ch stereo to hear the difference and I would recommend getting the subwoofer if you want the better sound but if you don't want to get one it wiil still work fine. You should also think about getting 2 more speakers to get the whole surround sound with the subwoofer. I hope this helps.

I hooked mine up to my surround sound system, but unfortunately the sound only came through one speaker. Hope you have better luck.

Yes it will. As somebody said previously check your input. Mine is only hooked up to 2 speakers. I do have 1 speaker per channel also. I have 2 channels not being used at the moment. I also had a problem with 1 of the channels so I had to switch to channels 3 and 4 instead of 1 and 2 and it works perfectly.

Hi Michael D. Linde,No, these speakers must be connected to a receiver because it supports LEFT and RIGHT(red and black) connections that receivers only has. Thanks. >joffrey

If you wire it into 'rear right +&-' you'll only get the signals/sound effects from that channel right behind you so it might sound odd depending on the movie, like some effects might sound like they are dropping out due to the missing channel. I was actually thinking you could wire both +&- of the rear outputs together and then connect that to your wires running back to the center speaker, but that will change the impedance (ohms) of the speaker and I'm not sure what effect that will have on the sound or your system, so don't try that until you get an expert opinion on that. I'll have to either Google it or dig my old electronics manuals out of the basement. I also have a 6.1 speaker set-up and am getting this receiver but fortunately have a dropped ceiling and can run more wires, just need to get a matched-pair of speakers for the rear. *EDIT* After a little research you're idea of the 'rear left +' and 'right rear-' might work. Do NOT wire one speaker into both outputs. It might damage the receiver.

I would encourage you to hook up the sub to your receiver first to see if you need the amplifier. Unless you are calling your receiver an amp.The sub gets hooked into your right And left out the the speakers get hooked up to your sub speaker...marked left and right.

The unit converts your right and left speaker outputs from your stereo into a right /left rca +/- jacks. I suppose you could just connect one of your right/left speaker outs to the unit and run that same channel to a powered subwoofer input.

Hi, yes that is correct. This is a 2 channel amp, so if you were to use a stereo output split to 2 unbalanced TS quarter inch connectors you could connect those to these inputs. Then run speaker cables to your main speakers as left and right.

The connection points to the receiver are proprietary, the connection points to the speaker are hardwired. If the speaker blows you can splice a regular speaker wire to the connector and as long as the replacement speaker matches impedance you should be fine.

As I recall there is no need to connect both the A&B; speakers to the input, I connected the amp's speaker A to the speaker selector input, then connected four pairs of speakers to 1 through 4 on the speaker selector, and nothing was connected to the output.

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.
